WASHINGTON — President Obama yesterday gathered together a roomful of mothers to lay a guilt trip on Congress for wavering on tough new gun-control laws just three months after the school-shooting massacre in Newtown, Conn.

“Shame on us if we’ve forgotten. I haven’t forgotten those kids,” scolded the president, surrounded by dozens of mothers and other relatives of child gun-violence victims, including three of the 20 kids killed in Newtown.

“There are some powerful voices on the other side that are interested in running out the clock or changing the subject or drowning out the majority of the American people to prevent any of these reforms from happening at all,” Obama warned.
